A week as a Kingston upon Hull advanced paralegal apprentice
Your week is split between the firm and your studies.

Kingston upon Hull firms run a lot of work, so apprentices here pick up real cases quickly rather than sit and watch. More often than not, something you studied that week has already landed on your desk as a live matter.
